Is Tag Heuer a good watch?

12-26-2010, 07:16 AM

I am currently looking at a Grand Carrera and was wondering who had experience with a Tag or know if it was a good watch that retained value.

For purposes of keeping time, no better than a $10 Mickey Mouse watch but if you're into bling, buy a Tag Heuer

Tag is a great watch. I've had one since 1980. Understated and not too blingy. It will retain it's value.

I have the Tag Heuer SLR I got it pre-owned for $1,400. It's the best watch of my collection.

Provided it works it is a good watch, but if it is broken, it is only a good watch twice a day...

I bought one for $3500 and the thing fell apart on me. I constantly was sending it back to Tag to get repaired until the warranty expired, then they wanted $600 dollars to fix the same problem they were fixing for the last 3 years.

I'll never buy one again. Beware.

I believe Cal. 8 is built on ETA movement (ETA 2894-2). You can get watches built on 2894-2 for much, much less (a few hundred dollars).

Many, many watches use the 2894-2 movement, which makes that watch not so unique. But if it breaks it is cheap to replace the watch movement.

I collect old watches but wear this new one:

Less than $200 USD and will last a lifetime.

Remember, watches are jewelry and are extremely POOR financial investments. Only in rare cases would you EVER recover your initial investment in a sale.

Good watch for keeping time and style - yes..
Good watch for keeping value no - not really

Rolex, Audemars Piguet, Patek Philippe, Hublot, Jaeger-LeCoultre keep their value a lot better..

No, it's a diving watch fitted with a flexible clasp-type band instead of the standard waterproof rubber band which is issued at the factory.

The Seiko Diver only comes in one flavor.

Now that is a watch, brings back many happy memories - then reminds me of the bitch who kept it when she dumped me.

Liking the Tag you have picked out, but you've missed the point about retaining value - you buy a nice watch because it DOESN'T retain value. It's 100% needless and mostly wasted spending - but get the right one and it'll make you happy every time you check the time.

At the time I owned the Seiko divers, it was the most I could afford but was exactly what I wanted so I loved it. Moved on to an Omega Seamaster (wearing it today cause its the most comfortable to wear) then moved on again to Rolex Sea Dweller (I don't like the magnifiers - its the divers watch without it) - Next on the list? Something from IWC.

There is only one item of jewellery a guy can wear and it's a watch, so you might as well make a statement.

I have now had 2 of them and wont ever buy another one. First one. Bezel broke, started losing time they said it needed to be cleaned and serviced. 250$ later and 2 weeks I get it back 36 hours later its losing time again. They cant fix the bezel as its no longer one thats made..

Second watch. battery dies 1 year after I buy it. Take it in 75$ for a new one and needs service for general cleaning. Total 250 again and I get it back. 6 months later locking crown breaks and wont tighten. 375 for that. get it back and battery dies again. Take it in they replace batter free. get it back to to set date and the entire face moves when you pull the crown to the set position.

From about $300 wholesale up (depending on how many units you buy at once). Well, to put it simple: some can deliver better accuracy, more beats per hour, higher wear resistance on the wheel train, can run longer without having to wind it up or wear it on your wrist and so on...

So what movements do they have? Maybe some unique-special built? I mean what should justify high price of a watch (speaking in general, not only about F Muler)?

They are unique mechanical masterpieces with everything made in house. Good craftsmanship justifies a high price.

Did you read the thread?
You can buy watches of the SAME quality (Same movement taking that movement is the core part of any watch) for way less.
